British Problems: A Guide To Being British

Problem 8: "I've been waiting 40 minutes for my bus!"

Okay so basically this is going to be kind of a rant type of chapter again because everyone in Britain hates bus drivers.

"But Jess, why don't you just drive a car?"

Because a, I'm 17 and haven't gotten my provisonal license or took driving lessons so I can't and b, I don't think I'll be a good driver.

The thing with buses is that 99.9999% of the time they are always late, or sometimes you have that bus that'goes missing' which is a nightmare if you're like me who ends up waiting an hour for the bus cause it only comes every half an hour. (Once I waited two hours for a bus before I gave up and walked up this big ass hill to catch another bus home)

Most of the time you have the asshole driver, and there are different types of these asshole driver:

1. The one who comes incredibly late even when there is hardly anyone on the bus.

2. The one that clearly has the face on if you don't have the correct change or ask for a weekly saver.

3. The one that speeds and cut people off.

Oh and it isn't just the bus drivers too, the people that are on the bus too are annoying and here is a longer list.

1. That one person who sits next to you when there are empty seats.

2. The people that don't move for old people/people with prams.

3. That one person who sits next to you and looks at what you are doing on your phone.

4. The one who doesn't sit on the window seat but puts their bags there.

5. The woman with 5 screaming children.

6. That group of teenage girls that are younger than you and give you evil looks and talk about you to your friends.

7. The group of teenage boys that sit at the back.

8. That one person whose music you can hear through their earphones. (Okay, so I kind of do this)

There are more people on the bus that annoy me but I didn't want the list to be too long for you.

Bye and remember, make sure to set out for the bus at least 20 minutes before the bus comes.
